5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Addition/Subtraction Math Software, January 11, 2004

This is a GREAT program. The main screen allows 1 or 2 players, play against the clock, challenge another player, or practice one set at a time (0s, 1s, 2s, etc.). The second screen is a Magic Square (table)from 0 to 12 to help the student find the correct answer, and posts the math family group in upper right-hand corner that will repeat back the equation clicked on. It can be used to solve a problem on the main screen, or as an exercise in itself. It has rewards after each set is successfully completed, it keeps track of progress, and can adjust the difficulty of the problems. In a word, Fantastic! My kid loves it, too!

After reading the reviews, I was excited to purchase this CD for my 1st grader. It has been a big disappointment. I expected a variety of games and activities, but it's pretty much just one thing (addition or subtraction drills) in one format (the equation appears on the screen and the child types in the answer). No variation, except the "reward" after completing a series of problems might be a rocket ship one time and fireworks the next. You can get similar drills for free on the math-u-see website. Just go there - no need to spend money on this!

This product is just as described. We are pleased with the product graphics and lively comments. We do believe it will help reinforce our son's addition/subtraction facts. It would be MORE helpful however if we could set some kind of specifications to have only facts in the 1s, 2s, 3s, etc instead of levels, so that it is not so random and you can be sure they learn ALL the facts. Then later on when they have a grasp, it could be set as random.
